Somalia: twenty years of war surgery at Mogadishu's Keysaney Hospital

For two decades, Keysaney Hospital, in north Mogadishu, has provided war surgery and emergency medical care for civilians and combatants alike. The hospital is run by the Somali Red Crescent Society with support from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). More than 216,000 people, including 30,000 with weapon-related injuries, have been treated there since 1992. The hospital's 20th anniversary was marked by the inauguration of a new operating theatre built with ICRC support.
